What happened to Dickey’s? Restaurant in new Fresno center is closed already

Barely a year after it opened, the Dickey’s Barbecue Pit at the new shopping center in northeast Fresno has closed.

The doors are locked and the chairs and tables are gone.

It was one of several new restaurants, along with Jersey Mike’s Subs and the Habit Burger Grill, that opened in a new building facing Friant Road near Fresno Street. The Park Crossing shopping center is home to Sportsman’s Warehouse and is still under construction, with Trader Joe’s and other retailers coming soon.

The fast-casual Dickey’s opened with fanfare June 2 of last year, selling its barbecued meats and offering free vanilla cones after every meal. The Porterville Dickey’s – the first to open in the central San Joaquin Valley – has also closed.
